Yeah that's what I was thinking. And he did that summer comp in Detroit, so it's not like he hasn't done such a thing before.

I don't think any competition is beneath any skater, so long as it's the right fit for that moment in the season.

Someone gave Patrick 9.00 in SS. At Canadian Nationals

Thanks. I was looking at the live result site where everybody's detailed scoring is up except Patrick. I didn't really watch him and Kevin well due to streaming problems. Hope to have good videos soon.

I thought Patrick seems much calmer then at Skate Canada and even happier let's not write him off yet.

Absolutely gutted for Liam I loved this program and he was even doing pretty good. I hope he slays it in the long he has nothing to lose now.

Wow Nam has improved a lot still seems slow but so much improvement.

Keegan sure can save a jump love it!

Tomorrow men's event is really going to show who has nerves of steel! Skate Canada is going to have a tough decision to make.

Roman was the only one with 2 quads in the SP tonight. 3rd placed Keegan and 4th placed Elladj had none.

Sadly. no stable streams for the last group, so they're all choppy and drop out

THANK YOU!! I have watched it twice already.

Just reading this thread and I don't really think anyone should have expected Patrick to skate an SP at his Worlds 2017 level. Like dude had a meltdown at the end of October. Didn't even skate for a while. That he's back, even if he's falling on quads, is something else. Others in his situation have straight up retired. I know sympathy can be hard to find for Patrick for some of you but at least cut him some slack.

Nam did a great job! I hope he is in the lead

loved his music.. wish he didn't go for a crew cut....

Nam reminds me of someone ,maybe an actor, I just can't figure it out yet, haha.

I thought Patrick was beautiful with his skating skills and footwork and spins.

Very close battle between the other 4 guys. I'm sort of hoping for Nam or Keegan to go to the Olympics at this point. Keegan has skated good SP's this season.

My heart sang tonight for Eliadj. Just.. I can't tell you how much I like him, guys. My dream would be for him to get on the podium. His interview with Sara O was so touching and moving and showed his heart.

God, I'm not sure why Nam didn't blow the roof off with that performance?!?! I know he botched the lutz, but wow, what a performance! I find him amazing! He skates with so much passion and personality, I'm not sure what the commentators are yapping about how he's skating more mature now? pshhhh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adpz2AGw9XU

Roman was a surprise to me. That was a completely different skater than I had seen previously this season. I really enjoyed his program.

My sentimental favorite is Liam - I fell in love with his LaLaLand program at a summer comp. I hope he repeats that performance. It had such an easy-going swing and flow.

Nam was better than I have seen him in years, and that is a good sign.

And what about the 13 year old boy throwing out the 4/3 combo? Orser's secret weapon!

You’ll get worse than the cattle prod if you start with your jinxing antics in the free program. *prepares cannon, muskets, and bow ‘n arrows* We’re kicking it old skool, civil war style!

(*Cowers behind couch*) Okay I promise not to watch until after the FS ends so I can't jinx anyone. Well, unless I can't resist

. But I definitely promise not to jinx by posting no drama/clean skating posts like this https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/s...-Short-Dance&p=1920886&viewfull=1#post1920886 :laugh:

just watched this kid's performance, wow, already landing quads for someone so young. He's the future for the Canadian men. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UJ7XQbve3g

OH YES.. I just remembered something I wanted to float by you guys..

Since Javi is retiring Brian will have room. Does anything think Jason Brown to Brian Orser might be a good idea or is it too late? This is probably it's own thread but I wanted feedback on my idea.

Now I remember why I sometimes have trepidation about Olympics(besides the politics and potential difficult emotions of deeply invested fans). It means I have to face the moving on of wonderful skaters

Well.. 3 out of 4 national champions (leaders after the short) are going to retire. If Kaetlyn medals at the Olympics and decides to bow out we will have a real changing of the guard here.. especially since Lubov and Dylan and I think W/P are also going. Canadian skating will probably be a little dry as far as medals go for awhile.

Stepan Gogolev the BEST!!! :coffee:

I didn't see Ladies and only parts of Pairs comps today. But from what I saw of Men SP and SD, Canada has some very promising skaters coming

. I do hope Piper and Paul continue :pray:

I believe they are. They are.. I think 25 each. Poje is 31 and Moir is 30. Dylan is 32 I believe and so are Meagan and Eric.
I do wonder if anyone will stay in for the Worlds in Montreal in 2020. Montreal is the home of Marie-France's group and Bruno Marcotte's group.
